Show Yarns From Old London Town . . . The American contingent in London Lon-don has many new terms since I left here in 1942. The newest and most frequently heard is "SHAEF." This is the initials of Supreme Headquarters Head-quarters Allied Expeditionary force. It is SHAEF that is planning and will direct the invasion. General Gen-eral Eisenhower is head man of SHAEF. I mention it to show how initials grow over here One story has to do with Lieut. Gen. Carl Spaatz, head of the American Amer-ican army air forces here. One night he was standing on a balcony, watching a German raid on London! Their aim was very bad that night and they were dropping bombs miles from any target. General Spaatz was furious. He shook his head and blurted, "The damn fools. They're setting bombing back 20 years." |
